Armstrong Fellowship Program
The privately-endowed Armstrong Fund permits the School of Arts and Humanities at UTD to award a few modest fellowships to graduate students each academic year. In contrast to teaching assistantships, which involve part-time work for the school and are based solely on students' academic record, these awards are based on financial need as well as academic merit. Thus, applicants must provide the fellowship committee information on their incomes as well as estimated expenses.
While the awards are direct payments to recipients, the school requires Armstrong fellows to enroll full time and expects that they use the grants toward University tuition. Indeed, most of the grants would qualify recipients for in-state tuition, should they not otherwise qualify for it. Students awarded a Teaching Assistantship in 2011-12 are not eligible to receive the Armstrong Fellowship. If a student is awarded the Armstrong Fellowship but withdraws from classes, the amount of the award must be paid back to the University.
Return the Armstrong Fellowship application form for academic year 2012-2013 to the Arts and Humanities Office (JO 4.510) by MARCH 9, 2012. Awards of the Armstrong Fellowship will be announced in late April.
